Description

Since the beginnings of their architectural practice in 1992, William Curtis and Russell Windham have dedicated their work to the main that classical architecture, in its best sense, must embody the similar rigor, the similar attention to surroundings, and the similar thoughtful technique to design theory that fuels probably the most forward-having a look styles and movements.

On this graciously appointed book, Curtis and Windham reflect on more than two decades of the practice of classical recent architecture, providing an expansive view of eighteen representative projects.

Opening with a contextualizing introduction by esteemed architectural historian Stephen Fox, A Vision of Place documents the authors’ quiet assertion that carefully thought to be work performed along traditional lines may also be, in its own way, groundbreaking. Curtis and Windham demonstrate the versatility of classical ideals and methods for instilling a recent resonance of place.
